Private Collection, Japan

This work is in very good condition overall. The top and bottom edges of the sheet are deckled. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. There is a very minor dent to the left edge, approximately one-third from the bottom. Under very close inspection, there are a few scattered, very minor and unobtrusive pinpoint media and spot accretions visible, likely from the time of execution. The sheet is hinged verso intermittently along the edges to a foamcore float mount. Framed under Plexiglas.
